Bourgeois’ deeply personal Cell works placed in a timeless dialogue with the masterpieces of the Galleria Borghese

This volume follows an exhibition at the Galleria Borghese in Rome of works by Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Casted Memory revolves around the Cells: architectural spaces that Bourgeois first created in 1991 and continued to expand upon over the following decades, combining monumental dimensions with a profound and intense exploration of her individual microcosm. The Cells consist of large metal cages housing objects and sculptures from her own personal life, alongside specifically created works. Thus, the Cells become devices of an individual and collective memory through the union of private and social spheres. Bourgeois’ works are displayed alongside pieces from the collection at the Galleria Borghese in a fruitful juxtaposition between ancient and contemporary art. The catalog, edited by Philip Larratt-Smith, Geraldine Leardi and Cloé Perrone, is enriched by critical contributions by the curators themselves, by Anastasia Diaz and by the scholars Émilie Bouvard and Ester Coen, as well as by an interview with Jerry Gorovoy by Carolina Sprovieri.

An otherworldly constellation of new video art that explores the vast, labyrinthine landscape of consciousness

Stemming from the 2022 volume Penumbra, Nebula brings together eight new site-specific video installations staged by the Fondazione In Between Art Film in Venice. Each work touches on themes of a different nature: the vastness of landscape; the architecture of memory and the labyrinth of consciousness; music and the voice as means of reaffirmation. The idea for the exhibition was inspired by the phenomenon of mist as a material and metaphorical condition in which the possibility of orienting oneself through sight is reduced, making it necessary to activate different sensory means in order to understand one’s surroundings.Artists include: Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Saodat Ismailova, Basir Mahmood, Cinthia Marcelle and Tiago Mata Machado, Diego Marcon, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Christian Nyampeta.
